[dropcap]M[/dropcap]arch fishing in the Bahamas starts to include schools of big dolphins, black fin and yellow fin tunas. Behind these species will be hungry blue marlins migrating south.
This is the time to start breaking out your 80-pound tackle in the anticipation of larger fish. My favorite marlin lure colors are black and purple, pink and white and yellow, and pink and green. It is also a good time of year to start rigging the larger horse ballyhoo behind medium lures to create commotion on the surface as the wind slows down. There will still be big wahoos in the 100-pound class on the drop offs. Be prepared for the wahoos with heavy cable or wire next to your lure or bait to prevent losing the fish and your lures.
Keep your eye on the weather for late cold fronts and rough seas. Be safe. Catch’em up.
